On my car, I have a 3rd set of wire harnesses near my bumper lights, near the bottom of my front bumper. They look to be stock, not custom made. Anybody knows what these are supposed to be for? The only thing I can think of is that maybe they are for the fog lights. but if they are for the fog lights, where can I find the wires inside the car? Anybody has a pic of a fog light harness, I want to if they look the same. The reason Im asking is because Im thinking about installing some aftermarket fogs that I got for free.
I'd assume that the install for the aftermarket fogs would be the same as stock except for splicing into the wiring by the bumper lights. Just plug a relay into the stock place (brown harness) and put in a switch (green harness tucked down by all the other harnesses).

Any idea on what kind of relay I could use? Why do I need a relay, do the stock fogs need a relay too?
Well, I'm no electronics freak, but I found this: Anytime you want to switch a device which draws more current than is provided by an output of a switch or component you'll need to use a relay. Stock fogs need a relay, and you should be able to use the 4 prong honda relay or any aftermarket one. There was a thread about this relay recently. If you use the stock wiring, though, your fogs won't be able to turn on until you turn the low beams on.

Yes stock fogs do need a relay...it's a small mitsuba one....but i hear almost any four-pin relay will do....there's another recent thread that discusses that topic and even shows you a nice picture of one.
